I share
@Jonathan_Blow's concerns, in part because I suspect the evolved system doesn't lie to itself the way that the conscious Me does — all the time — in order to project a palatable external self. To alter the insides for these purposes feels dystopian https://twitter.com/Jonathan_Blow/status/1117188648493916160 …This Tweet is unavailable.Show this thread
The lie: you'll be told what's good to know, and if you're good, you'll come to know as much of it as you can The truth: if you're lucky, you'll drink from a firehose of information, you'll discard nearly all of it, and you will think beautiful new thingshttps://twitter.com/QiaochuYuan/status/1117516149422346240 …

I guess it's rarely a lie. People honestly take false epistemologies for granted e.g. the bucket theory of the mind. That stuff follows.

I firmly believe that the mind-brain was never intended to be used only as a sort of solid-state storage. Though it is largely considered to be exactly that by many "influencers", "intellectuals", & "thought leaders."
